They're more subtle now - is that better? They're all internal links to other parts of the site.

It's just a matter of getting the different sections of the site better integrated - something I've been keen to do for a while, and which was backed up by the suggestion box exercise we ran between Christmas and New Year.

One other thing I've noticed - by force of habit I keep clicking on the "post a reply" link underneath a message - but the link itself is dead (I just get a " the message you are looking for cannot be found") as is the "quote and reply" link. "Reply by PM" is working fine.

Is this intentional (in which case, would it make sense to remove these options ?) or a hangover from the upgrade ?

I really like the internal links for restaurants and other parts of the site but, on a personal preference note, I'm not a fan of the extra click to get back to the forum after posting a message. I already know what the latest news stories are from the header of the forum (which is great), but guess this is one of the ideas for integrating various parts of the site ?

Most odd - will investigate.

I may set an auto-redirect back to the forum after a few seconds on that page. I'll see how it goes. The content on that 'thank you' page may vary too ... it won't always be news.

Those links work again now I've put the reply form back on a separate page. I'm in two minds about that, though.
